The Claas brothers

Under the name “Gebrüder Claas” (Claas Brothers), the firm became well known all around the world. So who were the company’s founding fathers, August, Bernhard, Franz and Theo, and what were they like?

The benefits.

Folding protective covers: easy access to the mower bar and all maintenance points

Choice of tine or roller conditioner

Range of swathing plate options available

Convenient.

The mowing height is continuously variable between 30 and 70 mm via a crank handle at the front of the mower unit. To protect the mowing bar from collision damage, all trailed mowers come equipped with a breakback safety device which moves the mower to the rear and upwards if a collision occurs.

Thanks to the combination of two double-acting rams, the mower can be pivoted to either side via the central drawbar. One of the rams acts as a stop mechanism, stabilising the mower unit. The drawbar adjustment function available on request – no tools required – allows trailed DISCO mowers to be adapted quickly for all tractors and track widths. This means you can use the full working width on both sides.

The large-size tyres (380/55 R 17 for the DISCO 3600 TRC and TC models, and 340/55-16 12 PR for the DISCO 3200 TRC, TC and TC AUTOSWATHER models) result in maximum soil protection, plus excellent stability when working on slopes and at the headland, or for road transport. The road speed is up to 40 km/h, with ground clearance of 50 cm.

The belt unit for swath grouping is a real winner: in combination with a DISCO front mower, for example, it can lay the crop from a working width of 6.00 metres into a compact swath. The cross conveyor is driven via an integrated on-board hydraulic system. Belt speed is continuously adjustable with a separate control unit. To protect against operator errors, the belt unit switches on and off automatically when the mower is lowered or raised. The lift function parallel to the ground means there is always sufficient ground clearance at the headland.

Complete product range.

Trailed DISCO mowers with side drawbar

Trailed DISCO mowers with side drawbar have a working width of 3.00 metres, and are fitted with a tine or roller conditioner.

Powerful spring packs.

The spiral springs of the mower suspension can be adjusted to the harvesting conditions without the use of special tools. This protects the grass cover and boosts forage quality.

MAX CUT professional-level technology.

The MAX CUT mower bar ensures top forage quality in all conditions.

Variable cut height.

The cut height is infinitely adjustable between 3 and 7 cm via a crank lever. A scale indicating the currently set value serves as a useful monitoring aid.

Ideal swath shape.

Two adjustable guide plates ensure tidy crop deposition, ideally prepared for the next stages in the process.

The DISCO 3150 TC FLAPGROUPER.

NEW: Double swath for the JAGUAR. Now with MAX CUT.

The hydraulically pivotable additional swath formers behind the conditioner feed the crop through the system, forming a uniform swath. In this way, a double swath approx. 3.20 m wide is created in two passes. As the next step in the operation, this swath can then be picked up directly, for example with a JAGUAR (3.8-m pickup).

Like all DISCO trailed mowers, the DISCO 3150 TC FLAPGROUPER is equipped with special DISCO features:

Christophe Bernigaud farms in the French region of Charolais-Brionnais, with a herd of around 150 cattle.

The DISCO FLAPGROUPER process has become the norm for harvesting in this region, as Christophe Bernigaud explains:

"In contrast to the situation in many other European countries, the legislation in France allows pick up working widths of more than 3.00 metres. The advantage of this process is that we can lay double swaths directly, which can then be gathered with the forage harvester's pick up. The JAGUAR gets all the material it needs, and all the working steps between mowing and gathering in are eliminated. In summer my animals are normally out grazing in the field, while in winter they are fed only on grass silage, hay and a little bit of maize. That naturally puts the emphasis on results: productivity, a clean cut, and ultimately a good quality crop - all the things we need."
